Stuart ***********

I know TiT and I'mnot saying you are wrong, but that makes absolutely no sense. You don't need to learn the laws for the first 2 years, but after driving for 2 years you need to do the online learning and take a test?

@Joseph ********

Brandon has covered the documents required. You also need to book an appointment online and complete a 1 hour online training video and take a copy of your pass to the DLT on the day of your appointment. On the day, they do a few reaction and eyesight tests and you are done, really easy. Good luck.

What visa do I need to buy a car in Thailand as an expat?

Stuart ***********

I did exactly the same as Marty, so it's good advice. The only thing to add is that you might have to increase your daily limit to transfer such a large sum, but I did that on my Bangkok bank app. Good luck.

What are the pros and cons of using Wise for transferring money to Thailand compared to bank transfers?

Stuart ***********

okay, I think it's fair to say that your feeling is incorrect then as thousands of people have been using Wise for many years safely.

I have only been using it for 2 years, which is why asked, but it has worked perfectly for me.

I can understand some people are comfortable with things they are familiar with and will pay more for that.

What should I consider bringing or leaving behind when retiring to Thailand?

Stuart ***********

As other's have said, ship nothing.

If you want American TV bring an Amazon Fire stick or similar as they are very small and it saves looking around for one. Maybe get a dual sim phone for Thailand/USA sim cards and keep a cheap phone line open in the states.
